Last month in San Francisco, Neal broke the indoor record with a toss of 66 ft. 6¾ in. -beating Matson in the process.

Their names are, primarily, Schmidt, Steinhauer, Limberger and Reiff. Their men are proud of various civic monuments; their women are proud of their TVs and VWs; they all gossip an awful lot; none of them ever mentions World...
...schmalxig." Rehder and Twaddell have in fact found only one man who is culturally aware (he is, I think, one of the Schmidts). Herr Schmidt has written a book Ueber den Untergang der Weltl, he announces with pride. But Schmidt is resolutely cold-shouldered by average-man Steinhauer, who remarks (witheringly) "So?
